Alerts are displayed as yellow boxes overlaying the main TiddlyWiki window. Each one corresponds to a tiddler with the tag [[$:/tags/Alert]]. Clicking the delete icon on an alert deletes the corresponding tiddler.

Here's a demo <$fieldmangler tiddler="SampleAlert"><$set name="currentTiddler" value="SampleAlert"><$button message="tm-add-tag" param="$:/tags/Alert">alert</$button></$set></$fieldmangler>.

Alert tiddlers should have the following fields:

|!Field |!Description |
|title |By default, alert titles have the prefix `$:/temp/alerts/` |
|text |The text of the alert message |
|modified |Date of the alert (used for ordering the alerts on screen) |
|component |Component name associated with the alert |
|tags |Must include [[$:/tags/Alert]] |
Expand the logging mechanism to support alerts overlaid on the main screen Now we get decent visual indication of sync errors, for instance. Still work to do to coalesce alerts so that the screen doesn’t fill up with them after an interval. And probably we should add a button to clear all alerts. 2014-02-14 07:53:41 +00:00			`created: 20140213224306412`
